True that, didn't wipe before, probably a good idea, but the kernel's really the only major update, and it consists of a single zImage, so there's no 'temp data' to wipe, unless the system crap expands out on your data partition. I guess I'll give it a try later tonight.

Dude the snap kernel is a STOCK 2.6.32 kernel, with OC added and that's it. The Cyanogen stock kernel has all of the mods that the previous 2.6.29 kernel had in it (or at least the beginning portions of them). It's dumb to run a stock HTC kernel just to overclock.

[EVO 4G General] GMschiller:
ok, so I love CM7 so far. Been through almost every nightly build so far. Can I ask something? Is there a reason that HD video isn't an option on the video cam?

When I upload the videos to youtube or facebook (also looking at them on my drive) it seems they are not 720p even when I choose the high video setting... also, is there any way to record in MP4 format again? Mine is only recording in 3gp... I remember that this was an option in the stock build... any advice?

[EVO 4G General] hurricane350:
I've always wanted to know how to fully clear a previous ROM, judging from the GPS workaround, I'm guessing this is not really possible...
[EVO 4G General] Tenny:
The timer is actually increasing
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
looks like no nightly tonight, this sucks.
[EVO 4G General] voodoo55:
the gps chipset is pretty complex, and has some memory independent from the rest of the system to store certain configurations. i assume one of the early builds corrupted something here. people who never touched the early build with the problem had working gps when they came in on the later builds. the xxgpsclrx fix is a pain if you don't have a stock nandroid handy, but i recommend it if you want gps. i doubt there will be another solution in the near future.

*this is mostly speculation. take away what you will.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Sounds logical.

Damn I was really hoping for a new nightly. I usually only flash on weekends... :eek:
[EVO 4G General] hurricane350:
So you are saying that when you do a full wipe (data/cache/davlik) that there should not be any remnants of the previous ROM, but the GPS chip is holding onto something?

Basically, I just want to know how to fully wipe a phone of it's previous ROM...
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Perhaps another of those ## codes?
[EVO 4G General] voodoo55:
caulkin's format all flashable zip will wipe everything possible. leaves your sdcard files alone though.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
I posted a longer version of this in the CM 6.1 thread, but I'm seeing this in the CM7 nightlies, too.

The short version is, wifi doesn't work.

It works when I initally turn it on, but if I pick up the phone after a couple hours away from it, or after an overnight charge, wifi has gone into a coma. I can't connect to the web, email,, twitter, anything. 3G is fine. And once cycle wifi off for a minute or so and then on again, wifi is fine again too. Until I have to put the phone down again. Then the whole situation repeats itself.

For CM7, I saw this on nightlies 8-11. Haven't flashed any since. It's been an issue with CM6 ever since 6.1 went stable. By comparison, I don't seem to have this issue with Myn's roms as far as I've seen.
[EVO 4G General] hurricane350:
Yeah, I have the format_all.zip but several people in their write-up for the GPS workaround, say to use the format all so it is obviously leaving something behind...

Unless it is stored on the GPS chip
[EVO 4G General] phazen18:
FWIW, I'm experiencing GPS problems (won't stay locked), and regularly use the format_all update.zip file when flashing roms. Additionally GPS works absolutely fine when I flash back to CM6.1, so scratch off conjecture that the GPS chip is now "missing" something because of early testing.

[EVO 4G General] galt:
high five! Thanks for your help testing the crap out of this. I wonder if from here on out it wouldn't be a bad idea to still use GPS Status to redownload the AGPS data every couple of days. From what I recall about the old issue, it was that the beta rom wasn't allowing the AGPS data to be refreshed and eventually it would take a long time for the GPS to lock (the ## GPSCLRX # # might have cleared this). I track my runs, so I have no tolerance for GPS issues, so I still have Tasker configured to run GPS Status every couple of nights and I have GPS Status configured to auto download the AGPS data. Keeps things nice and fresh.

Hey Guys,

I just installed the Cyanogen Mod 7 on my HTC Desire which is pretty much my first Root-Experience so I have a Question:

In the openingpost it says: "you'll probably want to flash the Google Apps Addon". I do want to flash it, but I don't know how, could you give me a detailed guide how to do it? I kinda casually tried to flash it via RomManager in the morning and nearly bricked my phone so that I had to restore it from backup :S.

I'd appreciate if you would help me get into this stuff and I'm sorry if this is asked in the thousands of thread-pages before here, but the thread-search didn't give me any information.

Thanks and Greetz

Se3ek

Edit: I've also got another problem; when I try to open the calendar, it is asking me to configure an exchange mail account, but when I feed it with my address and password, it says it can't get a connection to the server. Data-Connection of course turned on and working.

[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
This may or may not be related but I also was having that wifi sleep bug but after flashing a sense rom and clearing GPS, I flashed a fresh nightly and my wifi finally stayed connected the whole night. I did not restore to cm, I flashed a fresh install. More goodness from Galt :)
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
Welcome to the CM family!! However, this is the EVO forum. I believe there's a thread for CM in the Desire as well. But to answer your question, Google Apps Addon is gapps, which can be found at goo-inside.me (real website lol). Just flash that like you would a regular rom.

Swyped from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] Se3ek:
Meaning rename the zip to "update.zip" and install it via HBoot Recovery? Because when I went into Rommanager and "install from SD-card" my phone didn't boot properly after installing it. But if you say it works, I'll try again and restore from backup if it doesn't work.

And sorry for writing in the wrong thread, I got here from Google and thought it was the thread for all phones, sorry.

[EVO 4G General] mwielgosz:
I'm pretty sure that the reason for this is that the devs are changing the default ringtone and notifications for the ROM. When they do this, it overwrites your setting with their new default.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
when you guys go into cyanogenmod settings, and change the items in your notification bar,do you get a status bar FC?

Am I the only one for whom build 18 pegs the CPU at 100%?

Not sure yet what process is doing it, I flashed it and went to work, and when I took the phone out of the holster just now, it was hot to the touch. SystemPanel says the CPU is pegged. Rebooting the phone didn't change it.

Don't have the tools here to really look at what the phone is doing, that'll have to wait until I get home.

[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Incorrect the workaround as you guys call it was done on build 17 not 18 and does not need to keep being applied. What everyone has to realize is GPS isnt broken in any of these builds, just before you start flashing gb you must clear GPS stats and cm rom has no way of doing that since the epst codes don't work with cm. The same way you have to flash a sense rom to get prl update, this is the same thing
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Ahh, thank you. I thought i remembered the widgets being there own separate apks.
[EVO 4G General] splink7007:
After I flash I do have to change the notification and ring tones. I'm saying after I change it, the next day it defaults back to the default tones.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
<sigh> Which means he IS correct as, according to your logic, anyone who starts at build 18 would *still* have to do the workaround first. Hence his concern about cluebies thinking b18 was "fixed".

Wasn't it Cyanogen himself who said it was a GB-specific bug? I'll have to find that reference.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
How can it be a bug or even considered broken if it has functioned better then cm6 (I'm getting more precise locks)

Also then if you consider that broken then cm has always been broken on cdma because the only way to get a prl update is by flashing a sense rom, so you can call it what you like.

I do agree it should be added to the op. "Before flashing cm7 you must clear your GPS stats using ##gpsclr# or whatever it is

I am having problems updating to Build 18. Downloaded it three different times from two different places. Flashed with two different recoveries. Tried flashing with and without wipes of cache and dalvik. Even with all of the variations, it always boots to the green android with "Welcome to PC36100." Anyone else experience the same?
[EVO 4G General] fonewiz:
A little confused right now in regards to exactly what build I am on.

Pretty sure I am on 17 but in ROM manager, date shows 01/27 whichever doesn't jive with the dates on the team douche mirror.

Also, still getting FC on calendar events in whatever build I am on.

Calendar events is a known issue. Usually happens on events with multiple contacts

[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Kind of defeats the purpose. The point of flashing nightlies on top of nightlies is that I don't lose all of my data and have to start from scratch.

Edited my original post. Not trying to start fresh with a full wipe. Updating to Build 18 with only wiping cache/dalvik. That's why I don't understand my loss of data.
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Uh....so I am not wiping data so I shouldn't be starting from scratch.

Realized I forgot to mention that I'm only wiping caches. Not a full wipe. Sorry for the confusion.
[EVO 4G General] fonewiz:
CM-supersonic-full_17 but that doesn't explain why the dates don't match between ROM Manager and the Team Douche mirror.

Also, this might be part of the reason that the "check for update" feature of ROM Manager doesn't work half of the time. I think that somehow ROM Manager is looking at a different mirror or something that is causing it to harf up the dates.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Rom manager uses the USA time to stamp the dates and team douce uses another stamp which is why sometimes the nightly date is a day ahead. I recommend looking at the build #, that will tell all, currently we're on #18

There's an easier work around for getting gps.
